importing into australia

[lach]

any of the Aussie guys or anyone else know what species can still be imported?
i believe there is still some as a lfs has WC oscars that are sworn to me are ..
and going by past experiences the guy who told me has always been right.

im not sure but talipa are banned with a 20g find, im pretty sure oscars discus are ok but almost all other cichlids arnt allowed even if you setup and register a quatine room. Id get them really tiny so u carnt tell what they are and get them missed labbeled so if u get caught just say thats what u thought they were lol. If u get any S/A or C/As let me know plz.

Basically any Central American cichlid is banned, and the only South Americans allowed in are dwarfs such as Laetacara sp. and Apistogramma sp.

Only way to get them in is deliberately mislabling as far as I'm aware. I wouldn't trust anything being Wild Caught unless you know the importer, etc.
